Celebrities Who Have Twins

Rating:

Competition between twins can be beneficial, but when one of
the siblings becomes an international celebrity, the other might not enjoy the
attention and comparison. Discover a few celebrities who have twins, whether
identical or not.

From the Ashmore twins and other sets of twins working in
the same industry to siblings who took very different paths in life, here are the most
famous celebrity twins.

Aaron and Shawn
Ashmore

The most famous twin actors after the Olsens, Shawn and Aaron
Ashmore are both successful actors. Aaron has focused more on TV shows, with
roles in “Smallville”, “Veronica Mars” and “Warehouse 13”, while Shawn is best
known for his roles in “Animorphs”, “The Following” and the “X-Men” films.

Gisele Bündchen

The highest-paid model in the world is also among celebrities
who have twins. Gisele Bündchen and her twin sister Patricia grew up in a big
family, with four more sisters. While Patricia Bündchen also took a modeling
class with her sister, Gisele and her unique horse walk took the runways by
storm.

Ashton Kutcher

Even though Ashton and his brother Michael were both in the
same day, they’re only fraternal twins. Kutcher’s twin brother, who has
cerebral palsy, also suffered a heart transplant as a child. Ashton even
considered committing suicide at the age of 13 to donate his heart to his
brother.

Eva Green

Born two minutes earlier than her sister, Eva Green is also
one of the celebrities who have twins. Eva and Joy are sororal twins, but even
if they’re not identical, they still look very much like one another. While Eva
followed in her mother’s and grandmother’s steps to become and actress, Joy
focused on business.

Kiefer Sutherland

Seven minutes older than Rachel, Kiefer Sutherland has made
the same career choice as his famous Canadian father. His twin sister Rachel
didn’t have the same calling to be in front of the camera, but she still works
in the filmmaking industry, as a post-production supervisor.

Scarlett Johansson

Few celebrities who have twins have acted in the same movie
side by side. Scarlett Johansson’s twin brother Hunter appeared with her in the
1996 film “Manny & Lo”, but unlike his sister, he didn’t stick to acting. Born
3 minutes after Scarlett, Hunter chose to pursue a political career.

Jon Heder

“Napoleon Dynamite” star Jon Heder has an identical twin
brother, Dan, along with three more brothers and an older sister. Dan Heder has
only acted in a couple of short films, but he’s found work behind the camera as an
animator, previsualization artist, and executive producer.

Alanis Morissette

The Canadian singer is also one of the celebrities who have
twins, but nobody could get them confused. Her twin brother, Wade, was born 12
minutes before Alanis, and he’s even been the subject of one of her songs, “No
Pressure Over Cappucino”.

Joseph Fiennes

Ralph Fiennes may be the more renowned actor of the family,
but Joseph Fiennes also has a very good resume. It’s Joseph who has the twin
brother, Jacob. Unlike his other siblings, who were all drawn to artistic fields,
Jacob is a gamekeeper and conservationist.

Duffy

The Grammy-winning Welsh singer has written songs about her
sisters, so it’s no secret that she’s one of the celebrities who have twins.
Born Amie Ann Duffy, the singer and her sister Katy Ann aren’t identical twins
and their personalities are very different as well. “She’s a bit of a
troublemaker, she’s partying all the time. If we looked the same I’d get into
so much trouble,” the singer has said, quoted by Yahoo.

Jason and Jeremy
London

Jason London is known for his work in “Dazed and Confused” and
appearances in TV shows like “NCIS” and “Grey’s Anatomy”. Born 27 minutes after him
was Jeremy, who also pursued a career in acting, with roles in “7th
Heaven” and “Party of Five”. The two identical twins have competed for the same
parts and even worked as stunt doubles for each other.

Marissa and Giovanni
Ribisi

Both Giovanni and Marissa Ribisi started acting early in
their childhood. Like many celebrities who have twins in the same field, they
worked together, but Marissa ended up putting her acting career on hold when
she married singer Beck and had two kids.
